If the state council gives me a panel of names that is the same panel of names, I will wait for information from the State Solicitor’s Office on whether I can ask for another list — Mr P. Papalia : So you won’t? Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : I did not say I will not. I will wait for advice and then make my decision.
